Resumen: Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) are a potential alternative to diversify the energy landscape, beyond Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), due to their similar storage mechanism and easy technology transfer. Currently, the benchmark anodes for SIBs are hard carbons (HCs), since sodium

Abstract: Energy: H2 production The development of TiO₂-based photocatalysts modified with palladium for efficient hydrogen (H₂) production under UV-visible and visible light irradiation has been explored. By combining high-surface-area mesoporous TiO₂ with small amounts of Pd, the researchers aimed to

Resumen: Cast Mg alloys have found many applications and current focus of research is on wrought Mg alloys. One major challenge in this effort is poor formability of Mg alloys. In this talk, I will present the results of current

Resumen: In this talk, I will present our work on developing machine learning methods to accelerate the design and discovery of nanoporous materials, with a focus on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Over the past decades, the synthesis of over 100,000 MOFs

Resumen: Hydrogels are used in daily life to make our lives easier; they can be used for medicine, architecture, security fields, and others. In the case of this thesis, we focus on the polymer polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) for the matrix

La defensa de la tesis doctoral se llevará a cabo en la Sala Leonardo Torres Quevedo, Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos (UPM). La disertación «Influence of the microstructure on the deformation mechanisms of wrought Mg

Abstract: Spiders often evoke fear and disgust, yet their silks and webs inspire awe and fascination, capturing human curiosity throughout history. From sparking the interest of ancient philosophers to influencing practical innovations, spider silk has long been intertwined with our

Resumen: The demand for lightweight battery enclosures in new energy vehicles has led to the increased use of aluminum alloys and polymer composites. However, the potential hazards associated with thermal runaway events in high-energy-density batteries necessitate advanced fire mitigation strategies.

Resumen: This study investigates defect formation during continuous-laser additive manufacturing of Inconel-718 through real-time monitoring integrating photodiodes and XCT tomography. Advanced machine learning techniques were applied to analyse and correlate thermal emission patterns with specific defects (LoF and Keyhole). The

Abstract: Coupon testing plays an important role in aeronautical design, providing a great understanding of material behaviour under different stress conditions. Integrating simulation at this stage could significantly reduce the need for extensive physical tests. This approach could reduce costs
